Episode notes
INSIGHT

BRRRR Still Works With Modern Tweaks

  • BRRRR means buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat and scales capital-efficiently by recycling funds.
  • It still works but requires updates for higher rates, tighter underwriting, and pricier renovations.
INSIGHT

Perfect BRRRR Is An Outlier Today

  • Market changes (higher rates, conservative appraisals, pricier renos) mean perfect BRRRRs are rare now.
  • Treat 100% cash-out as an outlier and value deals that still produce solid returns.
ADVICE

Buy Where Renovation Creates Net Value

  • Use value-add investing to buy underused properties, renovate, and capture more value than cost.
  • Target projects where renovation increases property value by more than your spend.
